ORDER
JOHN L. BADALAMENTI UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
On December 3, 2021, the Magistrate Judge entered a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that Petitioner's Unopposed Motion for Entry of Final Default Judgment Against All Non-Appearing Potential Claimants (Doc. 22) be granted. (Doc. 23.) No objections have been filed and the time to do so has expired. A district judge may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In the absence of objections, a district judge is not required to review the factual findings in the report de novo, but legal conclusions are reviewed de novo even without an objection. Id.; Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993).
After an independent review of the record, and noting the lack of any objection, the Court agrees with the well reasoned R&R.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 23) is ADOPTED and made part of this Order for all purposes.
2. Petitioner's Unopposed Motion (Doc. 22) is GRANTED.
3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter default judgment against all persons and entities that have not filed a claim in this action by the November 24, 2021 deadline.
ORDERED.
